I once read that there are so many women on birth control pills that the estrogen is not being fully absorbed by their bodies, and is passed into our water system through urination. Modern water filtering and purification cannot eliminate the estrogen, so it ends up in drinking water... exposing young people to high levels of estrogen at the critical puberty time in their lives.
Higher levels of estrogen might be the cause of so many effeminate young boys these days.
We use a Zerowater filter. It removes flouride. I haven't looked to see if it reduces estrogen. I did some research into the remineralize the water discussion. I found a counter argument. My son is not on board with this but I think it's worth further research.
Trace minerals are needed in such a small amount and they’re already widespread in the diet,” she says. Take selenium—you only need 55 micrograms (that's nearly a thousand times smaller than one milligram) a day, and you can get that amount easily by just having two eggs for breakfast and an ounce of canned tuna on your lunch salad. No gimmicky supplements required.
The issue I have with Berkey is, you need a separate filter to remove fluoride. I bought an Alexapure and also purchased Berkey filters in addition until the fluoride issue. Alexapure removes all of it with one filter. Just my experience with gravity fed filters. I love it.
I have the Big Berkey and my aunt (water purification specialist) also has and swears by the Berkey. According to her, it's the best overall water purifier.
Water chemist- most water depts can’t afford RO or activated carbon. The new EPA requirements for lead/copper and PFAS are going to eventually drive all water utilities to use either Carbon or RO, and when they do, expect your water bill to look more like your utility bill. It’s coming. 😬 highly suggest you buy your own personal home RO or used carbon filters.
Chem E. been using RO and multi pass activated carbon filters for 40+ years. whole house active resin bed water softener (hot and cold). huge difference and not very expensive overall. kids grew up with well above average IQ, very healthy. people who spend time here always positively comment on the water. daughter works in municipal water. you must always filter water.

I would disagree with the water filtration part. Estrogen can be easily removed from water with activated carbon and ozone treatment.
If your drinking RO you need to replenish the minerals, don’t forget that.

What does RO stand for, please?

You could be right, that's just what I read a few years ago.
